For the world flight, are you planning on doing the same route as last time? I'm curious to know what size of ferry tank you're going to need to do the longest leg of the journey, and how that compares to the Cessna 210

I’ve been following you and the flying cowboy s for years . The combination of everyone s inspirational videos at age 57. I bought a jabiru flew it back from Northern California to Ohio . I can’t get enough aviation now . I picked up a 1947 luscombe just old school cool .. keep making great videos.. many thanks for kick starting my dream . I now work on aircraft to support my love of flying :)-

great to see you're doing another round the world flight. Will you be filming it? I enjoyed funforlouis vlogs doing the first round the world trip with you, but would love a more pilots perspective of it, idk about everyone else but if you are filming it feel free to get super nerdy about it, I'm curious what's involved in a trip like this, the planning that has to go into it.

I agree, this site has substance, and we already know you can fly. So it is much more than that in my opinion. Of course your editing experience from doing it so long is showing through and for us pilots who get hooked on this or that poster, good editing is a big plus, great music choices, etc. so that we actually look forward to the next post, and experience the adventure.

@Avi8tor857 2 жыл бұрын

I have been looking at the high wing but I don't think I will fit, sitting from the seat base to the top of my head is 37 inches, as most of my height is in my torso leg room usually isn't an issue. Anyways, any chance you will be flying through Georgia US on your flight? Would love to actually sit in one. I know two totally different airplanes my three containers are RV10, high wing, or possibly the bearhawk 5.

@Avi8tor857 2 жыл бұрын

@@the_candourist yes the RV10 I would be using a seat with very little foam, and leaning back some. I have a couple friends with RV10s. The bearhawk is huge but I don't have a tail wheel endorsement (not that I couldn't get one) but I don't plan on operating out of unimproved runways either. I've been in the sling low wing and my head touches the roof.

@OneAlphaMike 2 жыл бұрын

One nice feature about Sling seats is they're reclined and on a sloping track. So, as you slide the seat back for more legroom, the seat also lowers, providing more headroom. It's a brilliant design. There's also an option of an extended seat track for the ultra-tall.

@Avi8tor857 2 жыл бұрын

@@OneAlphaMike Yes, unless you have a lot of your height in your torso, and have back seat passengers, then it doesn't line up well. I've been in "mojogrip's" sling and my head is touching the roof, I would would need dingo doors LOL I hope I can catch someone with a high wing to try it on at some point. I fly a cessna 172 with the seat all the way down. The ones with out height adjustable seats I'm almost touching the roof and have to duck down to see the wing tips.

@OneAlphaMike 2 жыл бұрын

@@Avi8tor857 Getting the extended seat track option means the seat would go even lower than Mike Ojo's. But yes, that would encroach on the legroom of back seat pax. Hopefully the HW will be at Oshkosh and you can check it out there.
